Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], Nov 1 (ANI): Minutes after takeoff, an IndiGo Chennai-Kuwait flight in wee hours of Friday made an emergency landing here following a smoke alarm.
Indigo's International flight, 6E-1751 with 163 passengers took off at 1:07 am on Friday from Chennai for Kuwait.
After takeoff, the crew got an alarm and declared a full emergency. Later, the flight landed safely in Chennai at 1:34 am.
